Costumed Protester Targets San Diego Over License Plate Readers

A man dressed as Darth Vader crashed a San Diego public safety meeting on August 19, 2026, to oppose Flock Safety's license plate readers — cameras that log passing vehicles. He warned they could track children or stalk ex-partners, a risk underscored by a Louisiana deputy fired for using Flock to monitor his ex-fiancée's car over 3,000 times.
